I started the workshop off with a tutorial on permutation testing aimed at introducing issues particularly relevant for MVPA (and neuroimaging datasets in general). I'll eventually post a version of the slides, but some of the material is already available in more detail in two PRNI conference papers:

Etzel, J.A. 2015. MVPA Permutation Schemes: Permutation Testing for the Group Level. 5th International Workshop on Pattern Recognition in NeuroImaging (PRNI 2015). Stanford, CA, USA. In press, full text here, and in ResearchGate.

Finally, Yaroslav Halchenko finished the session with a talk giving an "Overview of statistical evaluation techniques adopted by publicly available MVPA toolboxes", the slides for which are available here.
